CSA Farms in Massachusetts

Since our existence is primarily dependent on farming, we cannot entrust this essential activity solely to the farming population – just 2% of Americans. As farming becomes more and more remote from the life of the average person, it becomes less and less able to provide us with clean, healthy, lifegiving food or a clean, healthy, lifegiving environment. A small minority of farmers, laden with debt and overburdened with responsibility cannot possibly meet the needs of all the people. More and more people are coming to recognize this, and they are becoming ready to share agricultural responsibilities with the active farmers. - Trauger M. Groh and Steven S.H. McFadden, Farms of Tomorrow. (1990)

The following list of CSA farms in Massachusetts and their contact information was updated in 2004. We offer it as a resource knowing that such data does and will change. You can go to the Robyn Van En CSA Center at www.csacenter.org for an updated directory of CSA in MA and throughout the United States.
